The welfare of production animals at slaughter is a major veterinary concern, with debate on questions such as the degree of stunning required, how sentient animals are of their surroundings, slaughterhouse conditions, and how quickly animals lose consciousness after having their throats cut in religious slaughter practices. This research monograph provides a thoroughly scientific evidence-based account of the physiology and behaviour of animals for slaughter, analysis of the different killing methods, legislation and operating procedures, lairage and movement, as well as depopulation and handling. Animal Welfare at Slaughter is mainly aimed at animal welfare officers and policy makers, veterinary and meat inspectors and slaughterhouse auditors. However, this will also be a reliable resource for veterinary and animal science students, and the informed public. The Animal Welfare series covers current topics in animal welfare, to further research and inform the scientific, policy-making, and farming communities. *** "This well-referenced book is divided into 14 chapters written by 21 contributors. Black and white photographs and illustrations are used to highlight key points, and many chapters contain 'toolboxes' for the evaluation and improvement of animal welfare. ...provides excellent information and guidance. It will be a useful reference for anyone interested in welfare issues associated with animal slaughter. --Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, Vol. 251, No. 12, December 15, 2017 (Series: Animal Welfare in Practice) [Subject: Agricultural Science, Veterinary Science, Animal Welfare, Farming]

Water is an essential natural resource for sustaining life and environment and it is always thought to be available in abundance and is a free gift of nature. However, chemical composition of surface or subsurface soil is one of the prime factors on which the suitability of water for domestic, industrial or agricultural purpose depends. Fluorosis, an endemic public health problem, prevails in 22 nations around the globe. It is a crippling disorder known to occur due to the entry of fluoride into the body. The excessive injection of fluoride through drinking water causes dental, skeletal and non-skeletal forms of fluorosis. Fluorides are released into the environment naturally through the weathering and dissolution of minerals, emission from volcanoes and in marine aerosols. The main natural source of inorganic fluoride in soil is the parent rock. During weathering fluoride minerals break down and dissolve in water. Fluorides are also released into the environment from industrial processes.
